English abstract: Agile software development projects fail from time to time for reasons that can be explained neither technically nor functionally. So other aspects must be playing an important reason why those projects fail. In this article, I take another view on agile development practices with the help of the philosophical discipline of epistemology to show the inherent human problems. These problems occur in every methodology where humans try to model real world phenomenon. Further, these epistemological dilemmas can be used to evaluate the problems of methods and procedures used in the software development. I take a deeper look at some of the practices used in Extreme Programming (XP). The goal is to find out what epistemological dilemmas are particularly well treated by XP practices and which ones can be very dangerous for projects using XP practices
